Patient's question:
My baby is about ten days old. He always says his body hurts and often has a feeling of soreness in his body. The doctor said it's growing pains. I'm very worried. I want to know when will the growing pains go away?Doctor's answer:
Growing pains in babies usually last for about two weeks. During this time, the pain will gradually improve. Growing pains are primarily caused by calcium deficiency, so we need to supplement calcium promptly. Eat more calcium-rich foods, or you can also take calcium supplements to replenish the calcium your body needs. Timely calcium supplementation can alleviate growing pains and also pay attention to replenishing other trace elements. Growing pains are caused by the rapid development of various organs in the body, leading to insufficient supply of nutrients or trace elements. This is a normal phenomenon, so there is no need to worry. It is recommended to take calcium carbonate orally. Eat a high-protein diet, such as meat and dairy products, and get adequate rest to avoid fatigue.
